Wallet lighter :thumbsup3:
On a stock engine? nothing.
Spend your $$$ elsewhere .There are other restrictions on a TPI to overcome before the TB flow becomes a factor
LT headers would be a better investment if looking for bang for $$$

Well if you lighten your wallet you could go a little faster! lol, Probably not but it was worth a try.
Use the money elsewhere!:cheers:

Wallet lighter is not good.

Just to let u all know an upgraded throttle body does make a difference from the stock 48mm to a 52 mm i tested and proved it i have a friend who has a 77 corvette with a crate engine we ran last week we were side by side i put a 52mm throttle body on this week and we ran again i walked away from him with ease

Ever considered his car might have been slower on the day?
SOTP proves NOTHING . Track or Dyno results only.
